Rebecca Wang – Artist Biography & Artist Statement
Rebecca Wang 王晨釔 is an artist and curator based on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh nations, also known as Vancouver, Canada, and in her hometown Hangzhou, China. Her multidisciplinary and curatorial practices investigate the absurdity ingrained in the structures that uphold the everyday which is often characterized by capitalist consumer culture. Through nuanced personal, communal, and fictional narratives, she hopes to destabilize the default ways of knowing, perceiving, and existing that disconnect one from their belongings and surroundings. Rebecca exhibited with Capture Photography Festival in 2021 and 2022 and was featured twice in BROAD photography magazine. She curated Conditional Belonging, a multi-media group exhibition at Access Gallery, in 2021. In 2022, she participated in BAiR Emerging at Banff Centre, co-hosted the BIPOC Artist Research Cohort with EartHand Gleaners, and co-produced podcast In Tanglemnt with Cinevolution Media Arts Society.
Rebecca holds a BFA from Emily Carr University of Art + Design, a BBA from Simon Fraser University, and is currently a MA candidate in Critical and Curatorial Studies at University of British Columbia. She currently works as the Curatorial Assistant at Richmond Art Gallery, a Senior Program facilitator with Carnegie Community Centre, and serves as the Board Secretary at Access Gallery.
Rebecca Wang 王晨釔 – 艺术家简介 + 自述
王晨釔是⼀位常驻加拿⼤温哥华和家乡杭州的艺术家和策展⼈，她的艺术及策展实践围绕海外移⺠的离散⽂化和资本主义语境下的消费主义展开，讨论⽇常⽣活中⼀些鲜少被质疑却略显荒谬的常态。通过在作品中体现微妙的个⼈、社区和半虚构的故事，她希望打破⼈们与那些“常态”之间的默认关系，引发⼈们对环境感知、存在⽅式以及归属感的思考。王晨釔于2021、2022年连续参与温哥华Capture攝影节群展，作品曾两次刊登于《BROAD》摄影杂志。2021年，她的个⼈策展项⽬《有条件的归属感》在温哥华通路画廊展出。2022年，她参加了班芙艺术中⼼驻地艺术家计划、策划了⼤地之⼿环保艺术BIPOC艺术家研究⼯作坊、并与Cinevolution媒体艺术协会联合制作了播客《In Tanglemnt》。
王晨釔拥有艾⽶丽·卡尔艺术与设计⼤学视觉艺术学⼠学位和⻄⻔菲沙⼤学⼯商管理学⼠学位，现就读于英属哥伦⽐亚⼤学批评与策展研究⽣专业。她⽬前担任列治⽂市美术馆策展助理，通路画廊理事会成员，以及温哥华卡耐基社区中⼼活动专员。
